GREGORY MAGUIRE
had written a dozen novels for children before launching his first adult
novel, Wicked. A lifelong devotee of children's fantasy (he wrote his doctoral dissertation on the subject), Maguire's
subsequent novels for adults are variations-on-a-theme: Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister (made into an ABC movie
starring Stockard Channing) considers Cinderella as a seventeenth-century maid from Haarlem; Lost evokes the ghost of
Charles Dickens's Scrooge; and Mirror Mirror concerns a High Renaissance Snow White trapped in a household governed
by the scheming Borgias. Originally from Albany, NY, Maguire lives outside Boston with his partner, the painter Andy
Newman, and their three children.
